    I was just there in Athens, Ohio and near Wayne National Forest. I live two hours northwest of Athens. My daughter just moved down to Athens for college. She won a scholarship for her masters in film. She is a cinematographer.
    My daughter worked with long-time documentary film makers, Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar after she finished her bachelors in film. You may have seen American Factory or The Last Truck: Closing of a GM Plant, or one of Julia's early films, Union Maids or Growing Up Female. Right up your alley. Julia was a huge feminist, defender of the working class, and civil rights activist from the 60s forward. We just lost her in 2022. My daughter also works for Dave Chappelle filming sets at his comedy club in Ohio.
    Anyhow, Julia passed the torch onto my daughter while on hospice. Big shoes to fill.
    I am watching you drive along 33 in Ohio and thinking, I was just there multiple times recently. Funny too, I looked for your RV while I drove along 33 just by chance, not realizing you were in transit in near vicinity.
    Anyhow, as I have mentioned before, I am a 20 year + veteren of trucking. I run between Ohio and Nebraska and north. Live in the truck 25 days a month with Phoebe 12, my dog, and Vincent 10, my cat and Arthur my new cat who is 1 and a half years old. Picked up Arthur in Kansas last year from a pet store window. He was irresistible. I was just trying to get a coffee and new work shoes. Came back to the truck, kitten snuggled onto my bosom.
    Long time viewer. Love your little facts about places. I enjoy history too and am political junky which is such a drag. I feel your pain. I hear you. I whole-heartedly agree.
    Safe travels. All best.

    Great video. My non-camping friends in Florida where I live don't understand why I head west 3-4 times per year. Yes, it's a long trip, but I enjoy camping in the west so much more. Not only is there plenty of quality free boondocking, the lack of humidity means I can wake up without everything in my van being damp. Looking forward to seeing where you stop next.

    Best apple depends upon what I am using it for, but if I could only choose one apple to eat for the rest of my life, it would be Winesap. It's tart, crisp and sweet all at the same time. I'd go for an Arkansas Black or Granny Smith after that. The selections you get in the grocery stores just don't compare to those old-fashioned heirloom varieties!

    There was a story on NPR about capping off the abandoned wells. Problem is, there are not enough inspectors and not enough money to do very many of them per year. OH, I've almost stayed at Axtel but the pictures don't look too inviting. We stay at the KY state parks for $9 a night with our Sr pass. Laurel Branch and Moutardier are our favorites. We get water sites with no hookups.
